- Hello everyone and welcome back to another instructional video.
This vehicle's air conditioner stopped working. I was called out to diagnose it and found that the compressor would not come on. I found that the fuses and relays were all functional, so I tested the compressor directly. I could not get the clutch to activate and determined the compressor to be faulty.
I returned to replace to compressor and decided to take you all along for the ride. In this video, I show how to replace the compressor and alternator. I only had to remove and install the alternator, but the procedures are the same.

This is really weird. It's like watching myself of video. We are built the same, look the same, and have the same silver Toyota. I have more grey in my red beard and probably 20 more pounds of blubber, but other than that...
Thanks for the clear, concise video on this process. I just had a local place evac my system, since my compressor has failed. I plan to flush the hoses and replace the condenser due to that failure. I'm not too intimidated by the job, but doing some research makes things a little more simple to grasp. I had planned to R&R the compressor from underneath, but didn't realize how easy it is to remove the alternator. That is the kind of thing that makes you tube worthwhile.
Also, when a compressor comes pre-filled, is there any need to measure it to be sure, or to add any other oil to the system? Or just install, charge it up, and go?
My mechanic was replacing the AC compressor on my 2004 Toyota Corolla 1500 today.. He said the new one has more groves or rings and the old belt will not work.. He also said Ii have to take it to the ac technician to reattach the hoses. The old compressor was stolen out of my vehicle

This video is awesome! I wish I know exactly how to do everything you’re doing. I have a 03 Corolla that I’m going to be changing the compressor. Probably going to get the ac evacuated by a shop and then change it out. Then going to vacuum the system myself but idk if understand the vacuum fully and also idk how much Freon to put and don’t understand the vacuum the bottom line longer before adding?? Thanks for the video!
I feel like I could do this but the freon evacuation and refill has me concerned. Not sure if I could do that part without more detailed instructions
Chris fix has a more detailed video on recharging your ac with that same gauge cluster I believe! Worth checking out if you’re still in need for more details.
Why did you choose not to jack up the car and go through the side service port?
Doesnt the positive battery cable need removed, too?? My family members who are mechanics always remove the positive cable.
It's not necessary for working under the hood. Removing the ground opens the circuit, and there is no longer any power being supplied to the electrical systems. Though, some interior systems have capacitors that can store power for up to 15 minutes after the battery is disconnected. So it's always best to wait after diaconnecting the battery when working around the dash. However, if I'm removing an airbag, to replace a clockspring or remove the dash, I'll remove just remove the battery just for extra caution.
I hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
What city are you in
I'm based in Denton, Texas, but travel all over North Texas
@theaffordablemechanic Close but not close enough I'm in San Antonio. Do you happen to have any recommendations for shops in my area? Would you recommend replacing any additional ac components at the same time as the compressor such as the condenser as I've heard that when certain components fail they can contaminate other things with metal shavings causes replacements to fail.
@@jackwilliamson1929 I replaced my condenser for warranty reasons with Denso.
Where can I get the o-ring my ac comprrssor did not come woth them
How much oil did you put in the compressor ??
